Yahoo's new mobile apps, HTC's updated WinMo UI and a new multi-platform app called 3deep are all chasing after the Palm Pre's Synergy functionality, gathering all social media/location aware services in one place.

The HTC Touch Diamond 2 is similar to the Touch Pro 2, but without the keyboard, special speakerphone and conference calling capability. And though it's a fine phone, I prefer the original Touch Diamond's design.

Like Lam, I will forever be infatuated with midrange Sony Ericsson phones. SE knows what their devices can and can't do and they work within those limitations. The gesture-controlled, designer T707 is no different.

We're nearing the still unknown release date for the Palm Pre, and new details are slowly surfacing. Sprint demoed the Pre's WebOS apps at CTIA, including PalmOS Emulator, Google Maps and Pandora. These look fantastic.

Want a consumer-level phone with desirable traits like a capacitive touchscreen, haptic feedback and internet-connected widgets? After a few minutes alone with the Moto Evoke, I think this may be a phone YOU'D like.

Samsung just formally introduced the heavily leakedInstinct S30, the followup to Sprint's hot-selling 2008 feature phone. This one supports up to 32GB of SDHC memory, and has improved Calendar functionality.

The Sprint/Samsung S30 'Mini', a presumed colleague of the existing Instinct, well, isn't. Nope, it's the replacement for the current Instinct, and if anything it's slightly larger than its predecessor.

Landing a day earlier than predicted, Skype's official iPhone client will show its green 'n' white face in the App Store tomorrow. The other conspicuously neglected market, BlackBerry owners, can expect a client by May.
